Delhi High Court Orders Expedited Processing of Visa Pleas by Pernia Qureshi and Sister

The Delhi High Court has directed authorities to promptly process visa applications of Pernia Qureshi and her sister Sylvia Moin, both US citizens and daughters of meat exporter Moin Akhtar Qureshi. The court's April 20 order follows Pernia's 2019 petition challenging the Centre's revocation of her Person of Indian Origin (PIO) status and denial of Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status due to her Pakistani ancestry. The government noted she was residing without a valid permit, while Pernia stated she was born in Pakistan, became an Indian citizen in 1995, and later a US citizen.
